Struts and active widgets

Hi
Has anyone successfully integrated the active widgets with the struts based development ?. I am noticing that with the Active widgets stuff, lots of javascript code needs to be included in the jsp page which makes the page difficult to maintain and I am not sure if struts based tags can be included in the grid control. Also this code needs to be customized for each table depeneding on where you want links or hidden fields etc ?.

I like what the active widgets does but looks like it is more suited for standalone jsps or non tag applications and where the tables are few.

Any suggestions appreciated ??

maybe you may need to create a tag that builds the JS array.
the tag may take the collection of DTOs from the request and then build the JS array base on the tags.

I actually have a struts application web based reporting application that actually uses active widgets to display the report data.
I basically separated most of the JavaScript code that is generic into their stand-alone files, and included them in the page headers.

For the grid code, I simply inserted it into a div area and the only JavaScript code that I maintain there has mostly to do with setting up the Grid and Configuring the Grid.

E.g. I create a file called myfunctions.js and include it in the header section as follows. If I have a bunch of functions that I need to call anyhwere in the page they can be included this way.
e.g i can have a js function called getGridHeightByDataSize(dsize)
that takes a datasize and sets my grid height. defined in this file.
i will then call the function later when setting the style on the object within the jsp page.

<script language="javascript" src="<html:rewrite page="/js/table.js" />"> </script>


Then in my main body section i have my Grid work. I have included the code below with some elements removed but a few comments added in.
The is a jsp page where i use javascript active widgets functions to create and configure my grid and i use java/jsp and html to populate the grid data record object, the Mydata object.
